Actress Gautami Kapoor, who is making a comeback on TV after six years with new show 'Khelti Hai Zindagi Aankh Micholi', says she was nervous to leave her two children back home.
Gautami, who raises two children - Sia, 7, and Aks, 4, - with actor husband Ram Kapoor, will play the role of a mother to a teenage daughter on the Zee TV show.
"I really wanted to get back to work from last two years but nothing had fallen into place. But everything materialised with 'Khelti Hai'. I jumped at it and I wasn't nervous to face the camera. Rather, I was nervous for my two children, who are looked after by my staff, thinking whether they are safe at home or not," Gautami told PTI in an interview.
'Khelti Hai Zindagi Aankh Micholi' explores the journey of a 12-year-old girl, who has lost her father.
The show might see Gautami and Ram teaming up together onscreen as he is likely to make a guest appearance.
"Ram has agreed to be a part of the show as a cameo but he still has to confirm the dates to the channel. He is currently busy with his other works but if that really happens then it would be great as we will be seen onscreen together after 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi'," she said.
Gautami's work has been appreciated right from her first TV stint Balaji Prouduction's 'Ghar Ek Mandir'. After the show, she was flooded with many offers and went on to be a part of serials like 'Kehta Hai Dil', 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi' among others.
She tied the knot with her 'Ghar Ek Mandir' costar Ram in 2003 and after couple of years she quit showbiz to concentrate on family.
